carcasses. Thousands of cattle are
staggering in the snow so feeble that
they could never regain strength If
spring should open tomorrow. The
strongest are little more than skeletons.
the long dry hair stands on end and Is
vain protection from the pitiless wind
that whistlcd through it. They stand
all day and all night, their backs arched
up and their noses touching the snow.
1t is as yet impossible more than
vaguely to guess the amount of loss
suffered by the grazers of these Dako-
ia and Wyoming ranges. The own
ers of the herds are extremely cautious
in their statements. A stranger might
infer from the talk of the cattle men
up in the towns of the Hills that only
few OF the poorer and weaker cattle
are dying, while the bulk of the herds
are standing the winter quite well.
Even when standing in these sheltered
ravines with hundreds of dead cattle
lying around, the drovers "pooh pooh"
il off with assurances that this is ian
extraordinary scene that ga large
number of weak, thin cattle gathered
together here and died off while the
general herd are rustling about little
hurt" But after visiting half a dozen
of these rsvines and finding in all of
them strikingly similar scenes and no
where anything different, the suspicion
naturally arises that this is perhaps a
fair representation of the general con
dition of the cattle on these great
ranges. That thousands have already
perished is unquestionable. That thou
sands more will perish before spring is
next to inevitable.
There is not the slightest winter
provision made for these vast herds.
A man may own ten thousand head
and have not bushel of corn, nor
ton of hay, or single shed for shelter.
1t is not the intense cold or the pierre
ing wind that is dreaded, but the heavy
snowfall. So long as it continued dry
there is no fear of winter Nature
furnishes unknown hay in abundance
and while the weather is dry the cattle
live almost as well on these plains as
in the barns of New England or among
the corn fields of Illinois and Iowa.
But when the dreaded snow comes
and buries the standing hay crop, there
is nothing for the cattle but starvation
and freezing.
The great grazers of these ranges
laugh at an eastern mans prosaio sug-
gestions of methods for the prevention
of this extravagant loss. They laugh
at the idea of providing hay for 10000
cattle or building shelter to protect
such herds. A severe winter is said to
be an exception so rare that it would
never pay to make provision for it.
But this is species of philosophy not
easily digested after week spent in
riding over the ranges and seeing the
thousands Of cattle lying dead among
the drifting snow.

Friday. 1t went TO the hero Of Cerro
Gordo, ex-senator Williams, of Ken
lucky. II all the Mexican veterans
were able TO verify their claims to an
allowance and secure it as readily as be,
short work would be made of the Mex
icau pension business, at least. His ap-
plication was filed in the Commission
ers' office at eleven o'clock one day
last week, and the pension certificate
was mailed in the afternoon of the
same day.
The Cabinet continues to be theme
Of discussion. A week ago it was be.
lieved that Mr.. Fairchild, the Assist.
ant Secretary, was the man for the
place, but suddenly public opinion
changed entirely. Some say that the
President will appoint a wide-awake,
practical politician to succeed Mr..
Manning. When the latter rendered
his resignation the President brought
up the subject of his successor, and
Mr. Manning urged upon him the ne
cessity of availing himself of tn. .op-
portunity to appoint a strong Demo-
orat of national reputation, and sug-
gested two or three names.
A Democratic Congressman of prom
inence expresses the hope that the ne W
Secretary of the Treasury will be tax

dominated by Wall street ideas. But
as he himself acknowledged, it is very
difficult to find man of financial ex-
perience who is not under Wall street
influence in some way. Since New
York is the centre of the money pow
er Of the nation, every business man
of prominence has his main centre

Six Months for Public Schools.

The bill now before the Legislature,
making six months the minimum school
term is a good measure and ought TO
pass. Heretofore the children of the
rural districts have had opportunities
for study for five months in the year,
followed by seven months of idleness
in which to forget all they learned dur
ing the short term of school. No farm
er can keep his land in profitable con-
dition, If he allows weeds to grow dur
ing the best part of the year. They
will spring up everywhere and choke
his grain, and his crops will be a fail
ure. We cannot expect the minds of
children to expand when the weeds of
idleness and ignorance are allowed to
run riot the greater portion of the year.
A school tax is the best investment
man can make. If he has children,
and permits them to attend school reg
ularly, he will get his money back a
hundred-fold. He who complains about
the burden of keeping up the schools
is usually the man who does not know
the benefits OF education, and who is
willing that his children may grow up
in ignorance. When they know how
to dig and plow and drudge and take
care of stock, he considers their educa
tion completed and they are brought
up to lives of hard work, without any
intellectual enjoyment. When school
is in session such children attend when
there is nothing to be done at home,
and are thus deprived of the benefits
of what they might learn by regular at
tendance and systematic study.
If there be any objection to this bill
i is that 1t does not yet make the term
ong enough.

Coast Defenses.
BILL APPRopRlATING $3.9SO,OOO
DRAWN BY THE HOUSE MILITARY
COMMITTEE.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-The House
committee on military affairs has
completed its bill to provide for the ma
tional defense, and it will be presented
to the House as soon as a report can
be prepared. 1t appropriates $2,5O0,-
900 for the purchase OF steel forgings
for guns of 8, 10 and 12-inch, $3.50, 900
for the establishment of gun foun-
dry at such an arsenal as the board
may select; $50O,O0O for the construc-
ton of l2-inch rifled mortars; $780,
600 for torpedo boats, torpedoes and
submarine mines; S25O,O0O for gun
carriages $25O,OOO for field artillery
and equipment Contracts for all ma
terial, except such as is furnished from
government workshops, shall be award.
ed to the lowest responsible bidders,
but it must all be of American manu-
facture.
The last section of the bill provides
that it shall be executed under the su-
pervision of an Advisory Board, of
which Lieutenant General Sheridan be
chairman, and which shall be appoint
ed by the President as follows: One
brigadier general, one officer of engi-
neers, not above the rank of lieutenant
colonel; one officer of artillery and
one officer of the ordnance service,
neither of the last named to be above
the rank of captain. The President
shall add to the board one officer of
the navy, whose rank shall not be
above that of captain, to act as a men,
Der in the duties of construction and
purchase of torpedo boats, topedoes
and submarine mines suitable for coast
defense. To enable tests Of guns, ETC.,
to be made $2O0,0OO is appropriated.
The bill was prepared by Chairman
Bragg and is acceptable to all the
members of the committee, although
in the discussion which followed its
presentation it appeared that several
members favored a more liberal appro-
priation than is carried by the bill. Mr..
Cutcheon was desirous that provision
should be included to authorize the
manufacture and test of a number of
cast steel guns of large calibre and it
is probable that he will offer an amend
ment to supply the omission of this fea-
ture it the bill receives consideration in
the House. The Speaker will be con,
suited by members of the committee
as to the best method of getting the
bill before the House, but it is believed
a chance 10 secure action can be found
only in the six suspension days."
when two-thirds vote will be neces-
sary.

However erroneous the doctrines of
Rev. DR.. McGlynn, pastor of st.
Stephens r. G. Church, New York,
may be on the subject of property in
land, the action of the ecclesiastical
authorities in removing him from the
pastorate of his church on account OF
his opinions Is not meeting with gen.
eral approval. DR.. McGlynn's opinions
coincide with Henry Georges, and he
was removed because he participated
in the contest for Mayor of New York
in Georges behalf While we believe
the theory of an equal division of prop.
erty to be utterly inpracticable, if not
absolutely impossible, and look upon
it as theory opposed to all accepted
principles upon which modern govern.
ment is based, it is not crime, either
civil or ecclesiastical to hold to such a
doctrine, and the action of the Arch
bishop in removing DIR. McGlynn looks
like an arbitrary exercise of authority.
DIR. McGlynn was summoned to ap
pear before the Pope, but he declined
to 60. 1t is now said that he will be
reinstated.

Changes in the Cabinet.
SPEAKER CARLISLE LIKELY TO SUCCEED
MR.. MANNING.

WARRINGTON, Feb. 20.-There is no
longer any doubt here that Carlisle is
to be secretary of the treasury. 1t is
also thought to be settled that Pendle-
ton is going into the cabinet and that
Garland is going out of it. There
does not seem to be so much certainty
as to Colonel Lamont, but it is the bet.
ter opinion and belief that he will be
postmaster-general. He has great ex-
ecutive abilities and great skill in deal
ing with men. There is some specula-
tion as to the disposition that is to be
made of Mr.. Endicott, who has won
general respect and good will in the
war department. There is a general
disposition to assign him to the German
mission. Postmaster General Villas is
put down for attorney general.
As to the railroad commission it is
believed that Garland will be at its
head Clark, of Massachusetts, former
ly president of the New England road,
is thought to be sure of a place, and
Herman is likely to be the New York
member. 1t is hoped that the president
will hold these appointments until
after the adjournment of congress, so
that he can appoint Colonel Morrison.
The friends of that gentleman say that
he will not accept the place, and that
he flies at higher game.
The superior fitness of Mr.. Carlisle
for the office of secretary of the treas
ury is recognized by every one acquaint.
ed with the intellectual equipment Of
the man. He is hard student, a mas
ter of analysis, capable of sustained
effort, and with great natural aptitude
for public affairs. His talents have
ripened slowly. He was 40 years of
age when he entered congress only 10
years ago. At that time he was un-
known outside of his own state and
known there only as lawyer. He has
risen head and shoulders ABOVE his col
leagues, and ranks next to Mr.. Clay
himself in the estimation of his people
Then, temperamentally, he is suited to
the post. He is patient and extreme
ly pleasant man, and can dispose of a
crowd of callers as speedily and as sat.
isfactorily as possible. This part of
the work, which was so trying on Mr..
Manning, would prove no serious draft
on Mr.. Carlisle at all Mr.. Carlisle IS
a presiding officer stands almost alone
in the history of the place for fairness,
for moderation and parliamentary
knowledge and skill. He has admin
istered his duties like Judge on the
bench, and from his decisions there is
never the thought of appeal.

one Of the latest phases of crime. A
New York butcher has just been sen
tenced to Sing Sing for twenty years
for killing August Bohle. He killed
him in quarrel, and to cover his crime
cut off the head, which he dropped in
the river, and put the body and sever

Baltimore. Another case has come to
light at Eddington near Philadelphia.
A body of man was found on Wed.

head and limbs were missing. The
murderer has been found. Not long

A Terrible Case Of ScrofuIa

Hoods SarsapariIIa

" In the winter OF 1879 was attacked with
serofula In one OF the most aggravating forms.
AT one time had no less than thirteen large
Assesses over and around my neck and throat,
continually exuding an offensive mass OF
bloody matter disgusting to behold, and
almost intolerable to endure. 1t Is impossible
to fully describe my sufferngs, as the case
was complicated with Chronic Catarrh. After
three years of misery having been treated by
three physicians, was worse than ever.
Finally, on the recommendation of w. j.
Huntley, druggist, Of Lockport, l was induced
to try Hoods Sarsaparilla. And now, after
having taken twelve bottles, within the last
twelve months, the scrofulous eruptions have
entirely ceased, and the assesses have all
disappeared, except the unsightly sears which
are daily becoming smaller by degrees, and
